Ch. 87 Vent vs Search

Another street talk, this time from Roamary’s Cafe in the West Village of Manhattan, where Mickey discusses the critical role of outside vent (OV) firefighters in coordinated attacks during firefighting operations. Emphasizing the importance of timing and the PRIMARY mission of searching for life, the conversation explores how OV firefighters should adapt their strategies based on real-time conditions rather than strictly adhering to textbook methods. Mickey shares personal rules and insights gained from experience, highlighting the need for flexibility and situational awareness in high-pressure environments.
